In case you haven’t heard yet, we have a lot of expired medical-grade polyurethane. The Powers’ family were interested in learning how to make and pour a mold, so what better than LEGOs! The negative mold was made by placing…

Leon was up for some classic chicken roasting but wanted to unlock roasted chicken without the $40/bird price of a commercial roasting setup (let alone a turkey at $78.20!). Add in some 3/4″ aluminum solid round stock, a quick couple…

I recently completed a project that I’ve been working on at Sector 67 for a few months: an algorithmic audio composition, a MakerBot-printed 3D “score” of the composition, and an Arduino-powered device that coordinates the audio playback of the composition…

The Power Racing Series (hopped up Power Wheels racing) has alluded to requiring Nerf weapons this year for a section of the competition. We’ve been doing some proper R&D, using the Navy’s cruise missile destroying gun as a goal: Some…
